Challenge 47 at Pear Tree Designs-Free for All.

This week's theme over at Pear Tree Designs is a Free for All, so anything goes! The prize this week is a goody bag from the lovely Donna, so come over and join in!

I decided to ink up my new stamp which I couldn't resist the other day, have liked the SWALK stamps for a while. I coloured her in with Promarkers, inked around the edges with sandy ink and added some Glossy Accents to the puddle and rain drops. The papers are from the Dovecraft pad Sugar & Spice, ooh what a lovely paper pad! I used some brown card for matting the layers and inked up a doily for a lacy effect. I also used a flower, ribbon & buttons from my stash, and finished off with a Craftwork Cards oval sentiment.

I would like to enter it into a few challenges this week:
Sketch Saturday: Sketch ( I followed it for this card)
Totally Gorjuss: 1, 2, 3 Challenge ( I used 1 flower, 2 buttons & 3 papers)
Cute Card Thursday: Sketch Challenge (You have to state where I found the sketch I used)

Challenge 46 at Pear Tree Designs-Colourful!

This week's challenge over at Pear Tree Designs is Colourful, so we would like to see bright colours, but no dark colours like purple, dark blue etc. Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish, and the prize is a choice of 5 x digital images or 4 x digital images and 1 x digital paper pack!

The DT were lucky enough to have some of their images to play with, I chose this cute rag doll, thought she was really sweet! I coloured her in with promarkers and added some Glossy Accents to her nose. The papers are from a My Minds Eye pad, and these have been matted with cerise card, I've also used a border punch for extra detail. I added some ribbon from my stash and I punched a butterfly from card and added glitter glue highlights and gems.

I am entering this card into a few challenges too:
Creative Inspirations: Digi Day (I have used a digi)
I love Promarkers: Anything Goes
Crafty Catz: Card for a Child ( this card was made with my little niece in mind, she's 3 next month)

Challenge 44 at Pear Tree Designs-Lace!

This week's challenge over at Pear Tree Designs is a lovely one...we want to see lace on your cards! I must confess to being a lace addict, I love using it!! Our sponsor this week is One Stop Card Crafts and they are offering a selection of ribbons to this week's winner!

I bought this fab Lili of the Valley stamp at Harrogate a few weeks ago and had to ink her up, she's such a cutie! She was coloured in with Promarkers, and highlighted with Stickles for some sparkle. I used some papers from a Papermania Back to Basics pad, matted onto pale green card. I tied a length of lace across the middle, teamed with some pink gingham ribbon. I used a circular sentiment from Lili of the Valley which I inked with a pale pink pad and added some gems to the flowers. The flowers and brad are from my stash.

I am entering this card into these challenges:
Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

Pear Tree Designs Challenge 42-Mother's Day

This week's challenge over at Pear Tree Designs is a perfectly timed one...after making quite a few Mother's Day cards for orders, I suddenly realised I didn't have one for either my mum or mother-in-law...eeeek! Our sponsors this week are Robyns Fetish, so pop over with your Mother's Day creations!

Here is the card for my MIL, I hope she likes it! I got this stamp when I was at the Harrogate papercraft show a couple of weekends ago and couldn't wait to use it....I coloured him in with Promarkers and added some Stickles to the flowers. I matted him onto Label nesties with pearlescent lilac card. The backing paper is from a Papermania pad Back to Basics, and I have used some lace from my ribbon box. The sentiment is a Dovecraft set which I love to use. I finished the card with a diecut swirl and flowers from my stash.

This week's challenge card for Pear Tree Designs-Birthday!

This week's theme over at Pear Tree Designs is Happy Birthday, and our sponsors this week are Cardmadfairy's Card Creations.

The DT were given some fab digis to play with this week, I decided on this little footballer....I need more boy cards for my card box lol. I coloured him in with Promarkers and cut the image into a circle with my Nesties. The backing papers are freebies from Making Cards magazine, these were matted onto blue cardstock. I stamped some footballs using a Daisy & Dandelion set, adding some highlights with Promarkers. The sentiment is from the same set.
